NAME
       cheatmake - fool make into not rebuilding certain files

SYNOPSIS
       cheatmake [hidechangefile] [show] [whyfile]

DESCRIPTION
       cheatmake  is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool make into
       skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way.	 This  can  be
       used  for  instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the
       actual code.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS
       hidechange file
	      Hides the fact that file was changed by  setting	the  timestamp
	      into the past. Use with care!

       show   Lists what files make currently needs to rebuild

       why file
	      Explains why make must rebuild file

ENVIRONMENT
       One  of	the  following	variables  (but not both) should be set if the
       source directory is different from the build directory.	If  the	 build
       directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler
       variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.

       OBJ_SUBJDIR
	      Indicates that the build directory is in the given  subdirectory
	      of  the  source directory. For instance, if the source directory
	      is kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then
	      OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.

       OBJ_REPLACEMENT
	      A	 sed expression that is used to transform the source directory
	      into the build directory. For instance, if the source  directory
	      is  kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to
	      s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
